Researchers from Wageningen University in the Dutch town of Lelystad announced recently that they had successfully taught bees to “extend their tongues when they smell the coronavirus”. Bees have a sense of smell 50 times better than that of dogs, whose olfactory responses are already orders of magnitude more receptive than humans’.
They achieved the result via using the technique of conditioning. The researchers stated that “each time the bees were exposed to the scent from an infected sample, they received a sugar water solution reward.” They go on to say that “by repeating this action several times, the bees associated the sugar reward with the scent as the stimulus.”
Once successfully trained to stick their tongues out when exposed to the coronavirus-positive samples and subsequent sugar water reward, the bees eventually began performing the action even when the reward was not given.

A school board member appears to almost pass out multiple times while speaking due to CO2 build up and lack of oxygen due to wearing a mask. But, due to the indoctrination she has received over the past year, she ignores the demonstrative evidence that masks are harmful. Instead, she uses her short and labored breaths to vehemently demand universal mask mandates be implemented.
As the breathing becomes more laborious, she becomes psychologically more agitated and snaps at other people in the meeting multiple times during the video.
Well then, just going to have to be more observent to bees flying around with their tongues sticking out.
What a bee-zarre concept. The article went on to say:
Researchers could then simply watch and see whether or not the bee stuck out its tongue to determine whether a sample was COVID-positive or negative.
. . .
Although the researchers boasted that “a trained bee can detect an infected sample within a few seconds”, the method is unlikely to replace traditional tests.
So, wonders I, were they using PCR test results to train the bees to detect infections? And by using how many cycles were those results determined to be Positive? And did the insects identify only the real Coof infections, or the False positives as well?
Un-bee-lievable!
The best test is a noninvasive one.
I wonder what the false positive rate is for the bees test vs the PCR test.
